Comelit acquires historic German door entry brand Ritto.

Comelit Group announces the signing of an agreement to acquire 100% of Ritto, a historic German brand specializing in door entry systems for residential, tertiary and commercial buildings. This strategic transaction pursues a dual objective: strengthening Comelit Group’s core business in door entry systems and significantly increasing its market share in Germany, where the Group has been present for years with its local subsidiary.

The agreement to acquire the Ritto brand from Schneider Electric was signed on 23 January 2026, while closing of the transaction is expected in July 2026 and remains subject to customary closing conditions. The acquisition will be financed entirely through internal resources, confirming Comelit Group’s financial strength and the sustainability of its growth path.

Founded in Germany in 1976, Ritto stands out for its strong brand identity, widely recognized and and valued by professionals across the German electrical sector. With revenues of more than €13 million, it is now one of the leading players in the German door entry market and the second best-known brand. The quality and reliability that have always distinguished Ritto solutions have enabled the brand to expand throughout Germany over the years. With an installed base of over 5 million housing units, a wealth of expertise, relationships and consolidated technological know-how, Comelit intends to preserve and enhance the added value for customers by investing in the renewal of the Ritto product range and in service excellence for the customers, leveraging Comelit’s more than 70 years of experience in the door entry and security sectors.

Upon completion of the transaction, Comelit will assume ownership of the Ritto business and support its future development, while maintaining both production and the brand in a spirit of continuity.
